so i'm getting the impression he's the kind of student that she probably sat in their parent-teacher evening and said was spirited through gritted teeth? she tends to treat the challenging kids by giving as good as she gets and has definitely been in trouble with the principal for flat out insulting her students before BUT on the plus side it usually gives her fairly decent control over the class without having to raise her voice or throw around detentions left and right. a hook up might be fun though, particularly if they first crossed paths at a meet the teacher evening or something because who needs solid worth ethics anyway. in terms of the unpredictable mood swings, she's only very loosely got her shit together and it's fairly obvious to anyone who gets to know her away from the context of her job - she's essentially in the middle of an early midlife crisis and the fact that she failed to get into her dream career (acting) and mostly hates her job PLUS A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER EMOTIONAL ISSUES™ leaves her a little emotionally fragile at times, to put it nicely. with men she's dating especially she can go from being a warm, funny sweetheart the first time you meet her and inexplicably freeze you out the next day, for no other reason than she interpreted the tone of your last text message to mean that you're actually not into her after all so fuck you. so if it works for you, i'd love to throw a very awkward hook up into the equation and bonus points if his son accidentally caught her sneaking out of the house the next morning!
